I decided today to change my bedroom. I was in the front one which is slightly bigger but never felt settled in it really, probably as this was the one with the awful smell (covered by a very pungent air freshener when I moved into the house) and I discovered a lot of black mood over the outside wall which has now gone thanks to my PIV unit. 

Measured up to make sure the double bed would go in and got started. Moving the single bed was easy, got it propped up out of the way in the front bedroom and moved the wardrobe units in the back bedroom (luckily it’s 3 separate units) only one of them tried to topple over but managed to get them where I wanted. Only broke one nail. 

Managed to eventually get double mattress in, thought at one point it was going to have to stay in the bathroom but after much pushing, shoving and kicking I got it in back bedroom. The bed base however was not as accommodating. I got it out the front bedroom but then it got wedged against the bannister and the wall. The flipping thing would not move forward or back plus I was stuck behind it. B***er. 

Then I remembered I could undo some screws and it would bend in the middle, so I managed to half squeeze half crawl out and went to get a screwdriver.

Decided to make a cup of tea whilst I was rummaging in the drawer for the said screwdriver ( bearing in mind that I was hot, somewhat p****d off and thinking I would have to put everything back) I discovered a ciggie packet with one in it. Found screwdriver and went into front room with tea and ciggie packet. Took ciggie out and smelt it, then put it back and drank my tea. Thought about it for at least a minute and then “chased the dragon”. It was soooooo good, sat back, closed my eyes and relished every bit of it. 

With renewed vigour I went upstairs, dismantled bed and managed to get it in back bedroom, unfortunately wrong way round so can’t have headboard on, but it is in. Need a nap now, front bedroom can wait I will sort it out another day.

SG are you sure you've not slipped a disc? Thats how I managed to worsen mine by picking a double mattress up and throwing it on the floor after my mum insisted there was a mouse inside. Normally I wouldn't be strong enough to even slide it off the bed but I was soooo angry as this story had gone on for about a month, looking in the bed drawers and even between the sheets.

Ben, it's hard to be all swarve and deb-on-air when you've got your missus in tow, bringing you back down to earth!

[benjamin1945 16,279]

It never gets me anywhere Katy,, and Donna don't take a blind bit of notice............lol

I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you.......... I stopped a week before Christmas.... I could still smoke one and quite cheerfully murder you for that last cigarette, the craving is still strong and for reasons I'd rather not get into chewing gum has to be rationed...

[Stavertongirl 1,723]

Sorry about that Brew, know the feeling vaping just doesn’t cut it either.

Don’t think I have hurt my back, perhaps tomorrow will tell if I have. My hands are sore, my wrist hurts a bit but I was told I have a squashy (technical term from a consultant in Doncaster) wrist so it should ease off. Couple of bruises on my arms, probably from when I was escaping from behind the bed base. Broke a couple of nails which is a pain but otherwise unscathed.

[Brew 5,462]

I used to have a back problem.... couldn't get the bugger out of the bed in a morning...

[benjamin1945 16,279]

Sorry about that,,but well worth repeating,,lol

[benjamin1945 16,279]

My daughter has had a beautiful Daughter this morning,,

[Beekay 5,235]

Its on twice Ben, does that mean it's  twins ? Any road, congratulations grandad !

[Jill Sparrow 10,386]

When she's old enough to listen to her grandad's exploits, she won't believe it!  Make sure you show her the photos of that cheeky young lad with the pretty face and cheekbones!

[sue B 48 1,226]

Congratulations ben, a beautiful Granddaughter how lovely.  

[Brew 5,462]

We all say it, congratulations and well done, dunno why, your daughter did all the hard work!   Any way congrats Grandad and a well done to daughter bless her...

[MargieH 7,617]

Ben, congratulations on your latest grandchild.   How many grandchildren/great grandchildren do you have now?   We only have six grandchildren ranging from age 22 down to 8.   

Been looking after the next to youngest today as she was sick after her breakfast so couldn't go to school,  but she's been bright as a button since.  We've watched several episodes of some American rubbish that she likes on TV, played dominoes, rummy and knockout whist, had a lot of banter (she's very funny) and did some drawing.   She also read her book for half an hour "Danny, Champion of the World" by Roald Dahl.  I remember her dad reading that one when he was little..

[Beekay 5,235]

Me, im still looking for someone to adopt a grandad. Good as new and never bin used.

[Brew 5,462]

There are sites and organisations that arrange surrogate grandparents BK though I do realise it may a bit sensitive for you..

[Beekay 5,235]

I might be a bit too old for an adoption society dont you think? When Tina and I  last went to Disneyland Paris, we always made sure we stood in a queue next to some little kids, then it Didn't  look too bad, a couple of old f..ts waiting to go on Peter Pan.

[Brew 5,462]

In this day and age I really wouldn't recommend doing that...    Age UK, netmums, gransnet..depends how serious you are..

[Beekay 5,235]

Would've considered it twenty years ago Brew, but too old in the tooth now.

[benjamin1945 16,279]

Been worried a couple of weeks,,Doctor sent me for tests.........Last saturday was down the throat  all ok,,,,back at Kings Mill today for tests ''Up the jacksie'''  relieved to say all ok............today was '''Uncomfortable'' to say the least......but they said i was very brave,,,even made me a strong coffee after,,

                Thanks again NHS............

Edit,, looked out for you Jill,,,would have bought you and friend a coffee.................

[Beekay 5,235]

[benjamin1945 16,279]
